  • Patent number: 5591462
    Abstract: Camera based inspection equipment is used in conjunction with a multiple-station forming device such as a blow molder for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or PEN bottle manufacturing. The inspection system relies on handling devices that present successive bottles for imaging, and due to their operation with the forming device it is possible to correlate inspection data with individual forming elements and/or transfer elements. A seal surface inspection module, a base/neck fold inspection module and a finish gauge inspection module are integrated into the route of preforms and containers through the container manufacturing equipment such that the inspection system is directed to view the passing bottles as they are carried on the transfer devices needed to load and unload the molder.

  • Patent number: 5111746
    Abstract: A munition and method for making a borehole in a target and for placement an explosive unit in the borehole. The munition includes an outer body having a chamber, an inner body disposed in the chamber and having a cavity, a piston disposed in the cavity forming a rear space, the outer body having a front shaped charge wall, the chamber having a first explosive and detonator, a penetrator partly disposed in the cavity and extending through a front wall of the inner body, and a second detonator and explosive disposed in a penetrator compartment.

  • Patent number: 4989517
    Abstract: The invention discloses an improved conventional munition employing a dual omblet configuration including dual shaped charges and a design which uses a Misznay-Schardin end plate with a shaped charge. Both bomblets are separately enclosed by fragmenting warheads that are positioned in tandem. the tandem bomblet design results in a nesting arrangement of the fragmenting warhead, or sub-munition, to produce maximum packaging efficiency. A forward sub-munition of a tandem bomblet will nest within a cavity of a shaped charge of an aft sub-munition.

  • Patent number: 4072131
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, the engine comprises a rotary-piston, Wankel-type machine having a ceramic-material housing. Within the wall of the housing are confined pluralities of passageways which provide conduits for the conduct therethrough of coolant, for the introduction of a primary or secondary fuel, and for the ignition of the wall-confined-passageway-supplied fuel. The coolant passageways open only externally of the housing, whereby the same supply and discharge coolant to dissipate engine heat. The fuel passageways have openings, which open onto the inner wall of the housing, for supplying air/gasoline-vapor mixture, or methane, or hydrogen, or diesel oil, etc. The ignition passageways confine electrical leads, which leads have a spark-gap interruption formed in each thereof, and also have openings which open onto the inner wall of the housing -- the interruptions being disposed in registry with the openings.
